Hi everyone, I'll be graduating from Taylor's this year and I want to ask your opinion for a good architecture school to further my studies.
I'm mainly looking at Australia, I heard that RMIT and Uni of Melbourne are the preferred schools? But I also heard that Uni of Melbourne focuses on the theory whereas RMIT focuses more on the practical. Is that true?
I was considering NUS as well but I cant seem to find it in the LAM accreditation list?
Also I'm just wondering besides the cGPA, is there anything else I can do to increase my chances for an admission?
Thank you very much!
You can look into University of Queensland if you wanna drift away from the "mainstream" school of architectures. hahah. I've seen the work by students of the Uni of Melb. Insane. BUT in my personal opinion they lack practicality. I recently graduated from the University of Tasmania. It's nothing like melb but the practicality of the school is really good. But it's a personal interest in what you want to pursue.
ANYWAY. I have a question for everyone. I'm looking for a good book which would improve my thinking skills in planning and design and also to be more critical. And to also pass time. haaha. I did google a few books such as "A Pattern Language" by Christopher Alexander, Murray Silverstein, and Sara Ishikawa which has a 4.4 rating on google. Any opinion guys?
Oh btw I'm new here. Kenneth Ooi, Freshie with a Bach. of Environmental Design from Utas. Pleased to meet you all
